I think this is more of a disagreement on messaging than a disagreement on facts.
I don’t see anyone disputing the “the AI is about as unpredictable as weather” claim, but it’s quite a stretch to summarize that as “we have no idea how the AI works.”
I understand that abbreviated and exaggerated messaging can be optimal for public messaging, but I don’t think there’s enough clarification in this post between direct in-group claims and examples of public messaging.
I would break this into three parts, to avoid misunderstandings from poorly contextualized language: 1. What is our level of understanding of AIs? 2. What is the general public’s expectation of our level of understanding? 3. What’s the best messaging to resolve this probable overestimation?
